Biography

After the release of a few CD-Rs, splits, and cassettes, Future Islands worked with producer Chester Endersby Gwazda on Wave Like Home (2008), the In the Fall EP (2010), and the Thrill Jockey releases In Evening Air (2010) and On the Water (2011). After releasing a couple of singles in 2012, Future Islands remained relatively quiet until the announcement in late 2013 that they had signed with 4AD. Their first album for the label, 2014's Singles, was a streamlined, very accessible synth pop album produced by Chris Coady. The band caused a bit of a ripple within the indie rock community when its Late Night with David Letterman performance left the host dazzled and near speechless. ~ Jason Lymangrover
